Materials For Every Solution

With over 50 years of experience we’ve worked with nearly every material imaginable. But in this ever changing world, there are always new products being developed. If you have a particular material in mind, contact us and we will find it for you. Otherwise, the list below, while not comprehensive, provides a glimpse into the variety of materials we have worked with over the years.

Aluminized fiberglass cloth is a heavy weight, plain weave fiberglass fabric that is heat-treated and laminated on one side with aluminum foil. This fabric is excellent for use in thermal insulation products such as pipe wrapping, turbine blankets, engine exhaust covers and insulation blankets.

Beaded Expanded Polyethylene is similar to other EPEs only that instead of having a fine cell structure it is made up of beaded foam. It is typically used in packaging and flotation device applications.

Bisco® Silicones are a firm grade silicone foam that offers improved durability and sealing. It features excellent memory and low stress relaxation which reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening.

Co-polymer Polypropylene is designed for extrusion applications that require high melt strength and excellent toughness. It features good heat aging resistance, impact resistance, low temperature impact resistance, and stiffness.

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is a closed cell foam that is known for its dimensional stability and recovery aspects while providing maximum protection against any impact. It is available in multiple densities and colors.

Explosion Suppressant Foam is an open pore reticulated polyurethane for explosion suppression applications that prevent catastrophic fuel vapor explosions. It is typically used in fuel tanks for aircraft, boats, trucks, and automobiles.

Kydex® is a very durable acrylic/PVC plastic that is manufactured to have long-term performance, appearance, and cost effectiveness. With a high impact resistance, chemical resistance, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability, it is perfect for even the toughest applications.

Load vinyl matting is a deep twist vinyl applied to a closed cell foam. The vinyl provides the necessary toughness while the foam provides the cushioning. This composite can have a barrier added to provide additional acoustic benefits.

Melamine foam is a low density, high temperature material which minimizes the problems of toxicity, carcinogens and airborne fibers. It is highly fire resistant and has low smoke generation along with outstanding thermal and acoustical properties.

Milcoustic is an acoustically superior polyether foam with a UV Stable polyurethane facing. It has been developed to provide the best overall acoustic properties possible while also achieving high flammability standards.

MilcousticAL is an acoustically superior polyether foam with an aluminized mylar facing. The facing provides acoustic enhancement, thermal abatement, as well as a deterrent for airborne dirt, lint, mild chemicals, petroleum, or water mist.

MilFiber-HT is a vertically lapped synthetic fiber-based sound absorber that is high temperature rated. It is compromised of 100% PET non-woven thermally bonded fiber. It can also have a facing attached to further enhance the material performance.

MilFiber-NW is a vertically lapped synthetic fiber-based sound absorbing material with a polyester non-woven acoustic facing. It has been engineered to provide premium sound absorption, enable good airflow resistance and has the ability to absorb high temperatures.

MilShield is a light-weight, highly formable, resilient heat shield solution. It provides thermal protection for interior applications, yet is resilient enough to provide protection for exterior automotive conditions. It is avaible in two compositions, Aluminum/Foam/Aluminum or Aluminum/Foam/PSA.

Pebble grain matting is typically attached to a closed cell foam although it can be used on its own. It features good weather resistance, superior impact strength, thermoformability and a low specific gravity. It has the look and feel of rubber and is an environmentally friendly material.

This material is a composite of polyester foam and a 14% perforated vinyl. The combination of the foam and vinyl allow this material to provide strong acoustical properties while still being able to meet flammability requirements.

Our polyester fibers are made from a blend of microfibers that provide high acoustic absorption and thermal insulating properties. This allows the materials to have maximum performance while maintaining low thicknesses and weight.

Polyester Urethane is an open celled foam with a pore size of 60-80 PPI. Esters have small cell structures making them more rigid and harder to bend and flex, thus typically making them more supportive. They also maintain high flammability standards.

Polyether Urethane is an open celled foam that provides high acoustical properties while also maintaining high flammability standards. Ethers are more hydrolytically stable, meaning they will not break down when subjected to heat and moisture.

Reticulated Filter Foam is an open cell foam that comes in a variety of colors and pores per inch. It is typically used in filtration applications although it can be used for gaskets and buffering pads.

Ribbed masticated rubber is similar to our standard masticated rubber only that instead of a smooth finish, it is ribbed. The ribbed finish allows the mats to be cleaned easily. It is excellent for areas where high traffic is present.

TPE or thermoplastic elastomers are a combination of plastic and rubber. TPE show the advantages of both rubber and plastic materials. It is both flexible and durable and has cold weather impact resistance. It also has the ability to withstand higher temperatures. TPE has a good appearance for when it is used in exterior applications.

Vinyl composites are made of a solid vinyl and polyether foam. The vinyl is supported by synthetic knitted backing fabric and can come in a variety of colors and styles. This composite is typically used in acoustic applications.

Zero Clearance® is comprised of high performance aluminum sheeting, a mechanically needle-punched fiber and a high temperature pressure sensitive adhesive. It can be used as an underbody above exhaust system, HVAC thermal protection, fuel tank thermal protection and airbag module thermal protection.
